I saw this solution posted here and on a different website as well but it hasn't worked for me. My installation folder is in C:\Program Files instead of the (x86) version but I modified the batch file to match. But still it asks for administrator priviledges...AJB wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 9:09 am If anyone is still looking for a a solution to this issue. I created one.
1. I gave the user full access to the Amcrest folder - Actually no required
2. Then created a batch file with the following command in it:
cmd /c "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Amcrest Surveillance Pro\Amcrest Surveillance Pro\Amcrest Surveillance Pro.exe"
My process:
- Open notepad
- Paste AJB's batch file contents and delete (x86) [since my installation folder is in C:\Program Files]
- Save as a .bat
- Double-click the .bat
If I right-click the .bat and run that as administrator, it works...but obviously the purpose is defeated that way. Am I missing a step somewhere? Or are you guys just setting this as a login script with Windows Task Scheduler and opening it up on login for your users?
Many thanks.
